Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• pain changes from baseline to 8 weeks

  to asses pain level with Visual Analogue Scale. 0 means no pain. Higher points means higher pain.

  To asses pain level changes in this study assement make at baseline and repeat after 1 and 2 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• menstrual symptoms changes from baseline to 8 weeks

  At baseline, after 4 weeks from baseline and 8 weeks after baseline

• sleep quality changes from baseline to 8 weeks

  At baseline of the study, after 4 weeks from baseline and 8 weeks after baseline
